FoRGER AND THIEE.
f. II. Hunton Arrested for Crimes Conn
mitted I'm Rillings, Mont.

Marshal Schnitger recently received a
telegram from Sheriff T. A. Jordan, Port.
land, Oregon, requesting him to arrest
and hold one F. H. Hunton, a forger and
horse thief, who had left Portland on an
east bound cattle train. The marshal
handed the message to Depot Policeman
Frank Dietrich, with instructions to look
out for the man, and yesterday morning,
at II o'clock, the officer spotted the miss
ing individual at the Union Pacific yards
and arrested him without trouble. The
fellow was the bearer of a large six
shooter, but made no attempt to draw or
make use of it. Hunton protested his
innocence, insisting that the arrest was
the outcome OF a case of mistaken identi
ty, and declared that his name was Wal
tiers. Papers in his possession, however,
indicated that his proper cognomen was
Hunton and that he was undoubtedly the
man wanted.
Last May Hunton arrived at Billings,
Mont, from D~eadwood, D. T. He sue
'ctutu Ill IdlSlnR StNeTdl UuUuTeu dollars
on what afterwards proved to be forged
drafts. His next act was to charter a fine
team OF horses and disappear. The rig
was found at Butte City, but Hunton had
departed for Portland, where he managed
to elude the vigilance of the officers while
he was being Swallowed and emigrate to
Pocatello, where he shipped with a
cattle train bound for Chicago.
Hunton is a fine looking young fellow,
about 25 years of age, and says that he is
en- route to visit his parents in Iowa. He
seemed very little troubled over his deten-
ton, remarking that he intended stopping
over here anyway. As the fugitive is
confined in the county Jail, perhaps the
prospective joys of his visit to the Magic
City may be somewhat curtailed.
Hunton is by no means a stranger in
Wyoming. Beginning in 1880, he served
two years in the United States peniten-
tiary at Laramie, after being convicted of
stealing a number of government mules
from a military camp at that time sta
toned near RaWlins.

Had Cash, But w ouldn,t Paw.

Jas. White, who stole a coat from the
saloon of Andrew Simmons Thursday
night, is a queer genous to say the least.
He was arraigned before Judge Lee yes
terday and pleaded guilty to the charge
of petit larceny, and although he had 500
in his possession when incarcerated, fatty
refused to pay a fine of $l5, which the
Judge levied upon him. White was com
mitted to the county jail, and the peace
officers want to know whether or not they
can appropriate the 500 and liberate the
criminal. The prisoner was formerly en-
plOycd as a tracklayer on the Cheyenne e.
Northern, and dresses as u laborer. He
may have private reasons for wishing to
serve a term III the Laramie county peni.
tertiary, as nothing is known of the
mans history prior to his arrival here.

The indian Fighter.

Gen. Crook, commander of the depart
ment of the Platte, is visiting Fort Rus
sell in company with Lieut.. Shannon,
aid-de-camp of his staff. The general has
many friends in Cheyenne, and in fact
throughout the West, and this section is
regarded as the greatest Indian fighter
who ever crossed the Missouri. 1t was
he who defeated an overwhelming force
of Siouxs at the battle of the Rosebud,
and he has pursued portions OF that tribe
in the Northern part of Wyoming and
Montana. Gen. Crook conducted several
campaigns against the Apaches in Ari-
iona, and his admirers contend that he
would have exterminated the tribe if al
lowed to fight them according to his W
ideas OF Indian warfare.

The mysterious trunk, which has been
a never-ending source of speculation and
surnise as it has lain in the Office of the
chief of police for several months, has
been shipped to Las Vegas, N. NJ. About
a year ago Marshal Schnitger was re-
quested by telegram from that city to ar
rest and hold a man who had stolen
property in his trunk. The officer secured
the receptacle, but the man escaped.
Some time after two letters were received
by Mr.. Schnitger offering $40 for the
trunk and directing that it be expressed
@. o. D. One missive was from the
thief and the other communication from
the hotel keeper. The marshal replied to
each that the article would be shipped
upon receipt of the $40. The money was
received from the landlord Thursday,
hence the absence of the trunk.

A woND ERFUL RUSH.
Cowhick & Whitcomb Fairly Over
whelmed with Customers Yesterday.

One of the most extraordinary rushes
in the history of the city characterized the
reopening of Cowhick & Whitcomb's store
yesterday morning. Ever since the fire
and the adjustment of the losses, a force
of clerks has been at work asserting out
the stock in the various departments.
With such an immense lot of goods this
was very tedious work, but it was finally
accomplished, and the big store room
lately occupied by Geo. A. Draper was
thrown open to the public, according to
the announcement in THE LEADER.
The rush was a tremendous one all
morning, and by noon people were packed
in the aisles like sardines in a box, so that
it was found necessary to close the doors
to keep out other throngs whom it was
impossible to wait upon. About twenty
statesmen were kept as busy as they could
possibly be all day yesterday. At 6 O'Clock
the doors were again closed until 8 o'clock
this morning. Yesterdays cash sales
amounted to about 81, 500, an indication
that there is quite a little lot of ready
money floating about the city.
Many good bargains may be picked up
by those on the lookout for them. The
scene of yesterday will be repeated to day,
everybody being anxious to secure the
cream of the stock, but there is SO much
Of it and such a variety that everybody
may be gratiied in this respect for several
weeks to come.

INEXPENSIVE GAS.

How Water Gas Can Be Produced Nine
Cents per Thousand Feet.
Three years ago the value of coal dust
as fuel was clearly demonstrated by
the United States Government in the
Springfield armory. With pulverized
anthracite the cost of making steam
was reduced one-half. The cheapness
of this fuel is due to the fact that the
dust is made out of waste coal, culm
and screenings, and also to the fact
that owing to rapid and complete COM
bustion two pounds Of lump or CRATE
coal burned in the ordinary way. Hav-
ing been mixed with air and supplied
to the furnace, the four-like dust in
stantly ignites, like gas. and burns
with an intense heat. The fire can be
stopped completely in an instant and
renewed in full force as quickly.
But the economies and other advan-
tages of this process are to be enjoyed
by the manufacturer rather than by the
householder. The experiments indi-
cate, however, that in many industries
gaseous fuel will supersede solid fuel.
and, like the use of natural gas, they
have directed the attention of inventors
and manufacturers to the value of q
cheap fuel consisting Of gas manu-
featured out of coal. Prof. Lowe as
serts that from $4,000 to 100000 cubic
feet of water gas can be produced from
one ton of coal, and that the cost of this
gas. with coal at market rates, would
be about nine cents thousand. The
Scranton Board of Trade describes
what is called fuel water gas, a COM
bination of hydrogen and carbonic
oxide gas, which can be produced at
the rate of nearly 100000 cubic feet to
the net ton of coal. This gas can be
made from the great deposits of waste
or culm as well as from marketable
coal, and it can be manufactured in the
anthracite region for less than two cents
per thousand feet.-N. Y. Times.

did not show up well on cross

made strong showing. Each of the wit

track was in horrible condition. A peculiar
feature Of the great strike which was devel

was the fact that all OF the guards examined

NEW YOIK, Jan. 5.-Coroner MESSENGER
worked until midnight, trying to reach
some conclusion as to what killed Wendell
Jung. a brewery workman. who died with
terrible pains and commissions, after drink
ing schnapps from a bottle filled at Franz
E;.ln's saloon. Jung, who was seventy.
two years old, lived with his wife at 40f
East Fifty-fOurth street. A little further
west, on the opposite side of the street.
lived a son, William Jung, with his
wife, Celia. On New Years day Celia, in
obedience to her mothers orders, took q
bottle provided by William Jung and went
for some schnapps to Egan's saloon. When
the bottle came back it was put in q cup
board, and in the evening Celia brought out
the bottle to take a drink. One taste of il
made her sick, and the bottle was put back
About midnight the old man took a big
swallow, and Immediately was seized with
violent cramps. Two hours later he died
Celia. Williams wife, had served for three
years in Billy McGlory's place as one of the
attractions. She was seventeen years ole
and pretty, and Jung, after a ceremony
went to live with her in Mott street. He
soon discovered that she already had hus
band, whom she had married at the age OF
fourteen and by whom she had had CHILD
This disturbed his peace of mind for a time
but he fOrgave her and all was quiet. Ther
he found out that she continued to visit
McGlory's place. He reprimanded her ane
she cried, and this led to a second pardon
One day he came home and fOunC
his wife bleeding profusely. She tole
him that some one had stabbed
her. A few days later an Italian came into
his room during his absence and fired pis
tol several times. His wife again confessed
and William determined to move from
neighborhood where his wife's admirers
were so thick. A few months ago he
hauled his household effects to 352 East
Fifty-fourth street. Celia promised to Be
good in her new home but William soon dis
covered for the fourth time that his wife
was faithless. and it made him very mad
A witness was found last night who in
formed the coroner that William had con
fessed to his friends, Donohue and Beher.

THE ROBBERS SENTENCED.

WlttrOck and Haight Sentenced to Seven
Years and Weaver to Five.
Sf. LorIs, Jan. 5.-The probability that
Fred Wittrock, the Adams express robber,
and his confederates, would be brought
into the criminal court yesterdar. drew q
large number of people to the court room
anxious to eaten a glimpse of the famous
highwayman. At eleven o'clock, the grand
jxry, which was at that hour expected to
be ready to present their indictments an
nOunced that they were ready to report.
An adjournment was taken to give them
further time to consider the cases and two
subsequent adjOurnments were taken, the
last one until two p. m, for the same pur.
pose. At the latter hour, when Judge Nor
mile took his seat, the court room was
crowded. the spectators filling the aisles-
and doorway. The grand jury filed in and
took their seats
Gentlemen. have you anything to re-
pOrtf' asked the court
ave hare three true bills to return" re-
sponded the foreman
The bills were handed to the Judge. who.
after looking them over, dismissed the Jury.
One of these was the joint indictment.
against Frederick Wittrock. Thomas Wea-
yer and William W. Haight. charging them
with larceny from a railroad car. Indict-
ments charging them with robbery in the
first degree were prepared Monday. but
the form was changed to the above, SO that
there might be no difficulty in holding Mes
senger Fotheringham, for an Indictment Of
robbery in the first degree would be an ad-
mission Of his innocence. at 2:15 o'ciocs
the prisoners were brought from their cells
in the hoid-over into court and arraigned at
the bar.
''If the court please" said Mr.. Clover,
States attorney, ''the defendants in this case
desire to plead guilty to the charges in the
indictment"
The clerk then asked the defendants il
they had heard the charges. They replied
in the affirmative, and to the question as to.
whether they were guilty or not guilty,
answered guilty"
The States attorney recommended that
the extreme penalty-seven years in the
pcnitentiary-be meted out to Wittrock
and Haight, and that Weaver be given five
years. The judge then sentenced them
in accordance with the recommend
alton. WIttrock and Haight took
their sentences stoically, the former re-
marking, swell, we have made our beds
and must lie in them" but Weaver was
evidently affected. He can not reconcile
himself to the idea of serving q sentence,
when Kinney, Moriarty and others who re-
ceived parts of the stolen money are al
lowed to go at liberty. After receiving
their sentences the prisoners were led back
to their cells, where they will remain un-
til tomorrow, when they will be taken to
the penitentiary at Jefferson City.
